In the meantime, I need to figure out how to determine the torque required to move a load horizontally with either a hydraulic motor/gearbox or an electric motor/gearbox. I would prefer...

    Steel Mill Question

    The coils are removed from the upcoiler with a large forklift whaich doesn't have a fork but a long 'snout' which goes into the 'eye' of the coil. Again, they are about 1100 degrees at this time. Within 5 minutes, they are placed on the ground in a coil yard, where we allow them to cool to...

Then we coil it up into a coil that has a width of 96" and an 'eye' of 30". The OD varies by what the customer wants, and they order...
